Anguo Gongfu fell after all.

A fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. The declining Guogong Mansion can most clearly feel the harshness of the world and the coldness of human relationships. The doors and courtyards are cold and the human contacts are sparse.

Those who come to the banquet are usually those who work hard to please others and seek benefits. Other government officials and dignitaries rarely interact with each other.

The interactions were just based on etiquette, maintaining the traditions of the ancestors, and were superficial. Ever since the engagement with Prince Qing's Mansion, the situation has changed suddenly.

Duke An Guo seemed to be a very busy man.

In other words, he could have dinner at home in the morning, and at noon and evening, there would always be colleagues or friends who would take him to have a few drinks with him. He accepted it calmly.

This was because Prince Qing's palace had lost power, and the prince had not yet assumed the important responsibilities. After the prince came forward in the future, his father-in-law would be even busier. He did not feel flattered, and he had already seen through the worldly ways.

Being calm in a prosperous place, and being in the prosperous place when you are calm is not a kind of freedom and freedom. "Dad didn't come back!"

"We will feel uncomfortable if he comes back."

".. Hehe, that's true." Xiao Ruoyu said with a smile: "As soon as my father comes back, he will ask his brother-in-law to talk about important court affairs. He will make him dizzy."

"Xiaohu, you... still need to listen to the affairs of the imperial court." Xiao Ruoling said with a smile: "I will eventually join the imperial court as an official. It will only be beneficial to hear more about these things."

"I don't want to hear it." Xiao Ruoyu said hurriedly: "Now I just want to practice my martial arts well. When my martial arts is high, I will serve in the army. Then I will rely on my military merits. Why bother with these twists and turns?!" , as long as you don't make a big mistake, you don't have to pay attention to these rules of the officialdom and the court's human feelings.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and shook her head: "You..."

After all, he is still young, so there is nothing wrong if he doesn't like to hear these things. When he gets older, he will listen actively without talking. By then, it will not be too late to learn.

As a young prince, as long as he doesn't make big mistakes, he will be rich and powerful. There is no need to be too demanding. While the two were talking, the manager of the Duke's Mansion came over to inform him that he had arrived.

Chu Zhiyuan was welcomed into the house by Xiao Ruoling and Xiao Ruoyu, and went directly to the back garden.

Since Duke An was not at home, he felt much more at ease. He didn't need to be too polite. He simply didn't eat in the front hall and went directly to the back garden.

In a small pavilion on the small lake in the back garden.

Xiao Ruoyu was extremely curious about this experience and asked questions again and again, especially when it came to King Chu Mingrui of England. Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Ruoyu, you haven't seen Uncle Ten?"

"I've only seen him from a distance, but I haven't been able to ask for advice in person." "Uncle Ten is still very easy to talk to."

"Easy to talk to?" Xiao Ruoyu said hurriedly: "Prince Ying is famous for being cold-hearted. Who dares to talk to him?... If you really talk to him, he won't pay attention." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: " It's like this on the surface, but if you're really close, it's not too cold."

It is indeed difficult for others to get close to Chu Mingrui. As the military god of Da Jing, he has always refused to let others stay thousands of miles away, otherwise there will be endless entertainment. The reason why I can be so close to him is because of Chu Minghou.

The young princes in the Duke's Mansion stood in front of him. They were frightened at first, and their whole bodies were so nervous that they could hardly speak loudly. When they heard what happened all the way, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

Especially when they heard that the Cloud Riders were coming and Chu Zhiyuan led everyone to charge, they both became excited. Xiao Ruoling showed worry and couldn't help but hold his hand.

Xiao Ruoyu's blood boiled and he wished he could take his own life.

"Why bother when Prince Ying is here?" Xiao Ruoling said softly, with a clear tone of blame.

Chu Zhiyuan held her jade hand tightly and said with a smile: "Uncle Ten is unparalleled in strategizing, but when it comes to charging into battle, he is really not as good as me." Super-sensory coverage, the hole shines like a god.

It is extremely easy to find flaws. As long as you have enough troops around you, you can be invincible and defeat more with less. But this world has not reached the stage where my son is charging into battle, so there is no need to be in the limelight.

Xiao Ruoyu said with emotion: "The Cloud Riding Cavalry, I heard it is very powerful, but in the end it is still defeated by the Wind Chasing Cavalry, but this situation... It is easy to lose Fuyuan Town, but it is difficult to get it back." Chu Zhiyuan said: "This time Uncle Ten will be able to regain Fuyuan Town very quickly and relieve the imperial court from danger."

The Thunder Spear Formation is unexpected and will surely severely damage the Cloud Riding Cavalry.

According to Chu Mingrui's strategy, this kind of victory will definitely be magnified and Fuyuan Town can be easily recovered.

"When will we in Dajing stop being passively attacked and can only defend, but we cannot attack them." Xiao Ruoyu lamented. This is the regret of countless people in Dajing, and it will be the regret of generations to come.

Xiao Ruoling said: "Unless our cavalry is stronger, but we are not grassland people after all, we will always suffer a loss when we go to the grassland." "Alas..." Xiao Ruoyu sighed.

Chu Zhiyuan fell silent.

Dajing and Dazhen join forces, and if they truly join forces, they are expected to counterattack Dameng. But looking at the current situation, it may be better to maintain the status quo.

Just look at what Cheng Tianfeng has done.

Xiao Ruoling said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. This time, the imperial court should have meritorious service, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I don't know how many grades of merit I can judge. I should gain a lot. Also, this time Uncle Ten gave me a Pogang Divine Weapon." He took off the Evil Killing Sword from his waist and handed it to Xiao Ruoling: "Just for your defense."

Xiao Ruoling was startled and hurriedly wanted to refuse.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This can be regarded as Uncle Ten's wish."

"Sister, the whole family is pushing back and forth on what to do." Xiao Ruoyu looked at the evil-killing sword with envy. Chu Zhiyuan looked at his waist: "There should be some in the house, right?"

The Po Gang Divine Weapon can only be exchanged for a third-level skill, but even if the Anguo Palace falls, it still has its heritage, which is comparable to Prince Qing's Palace. "Yes, there are, but it's not our turn." Xiao Ruoyu said helplessly, "It's all in the hands of the guards."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The Pogang Divine Weapon is indeed more effective in the hands of guards.

Despite this, there are still too many people left on him. Even if his martial arts is lower, he does not need to take action. An Guogong is indeed very talented.

Xiao Ruoling took the Evil-Destroying Sword and gently unsheathed the sword. Feeling the coldness of the sword, she sighed: "Good sword." He stabbed it into the air several times, the cold light shone, and the void was slightly cold.

Chu Zhiyuan was also very happy to see that she liked it.

"By the way, the Empress of the West Palace invited me to meet in the palace tomorrow morning." Xiao Ruoling said softly: "I don't know why." "Empress of the West Palace? Have you ever met her?"

"The last time the palace hosted a night banquet for Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, she happened to be sitting with the Empress of the West Palace watching a play." "The Empress of the West Palace invited the disciples of the Moon Palace." Chu Zhiyuan said.

"Could it be...?" Xiao Ruoling was slightly surprised, then frowned. Chu Zhiyuan pondered: "Isn't she also practicing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl Kung Fu?" Only fellow practitioners of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl Kung Fu are the only ones who want to detect traces of Xiao Ruoling's practice. .

The ability of Jiutian Xuannv Gong to mask the breath and energy is so powerful that it can be hidden from super senses, making it even more difficult for others to detect it.

"The Empress of the West Palace is like white jade, not stained by the worldly world, but she makes me feel very close to me, with an inexplicable sense of closeness." Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly: "It is indeed very similar to the Nine Heavens Xuannv Kung Fu." She immediately wondered: "Why did the Empress come to me? ?」

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Maybe I'm curious about how you practice the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl Skill?"

".I hope so." Xiao Ruoling frowned lightly.

She always felt that it was not that simple.

The Empress of the West Palace seems to not care about everything and does not want to live in the world. Why does she want to see her? Just because of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl Skill?

"You know it after you've seen it." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
